Imagiscopes: Week of June 27, 2016

Imagiscopes are based on sun sign astrology, popularly known as “the horoscope” for each sign that is found in many daily, weekly and monthly publications. Like the horoscope, the imagiscope is based on the astrological transits for the week ahead, customized for each Sun sign. Find your Sun sign below to read your image for the coming week!

Imagiscopes are offered as a window into the living imagination, the imaginal realm which gives birth to all form and structure. Rather than offering a literal interpretation or story about the dynamics you may experience during the week, imagiscopes offer an invitation into an experience of those dynamics. Perhaps they will spark a memory, a feeling, or a more intuitive recognition of the planetary powers at play in your life this week. It may be helpful to not try to “figure it out,” but rather to sit with the mood it evokes and see what imagery or fantasy of your own might emerge in response.

To accurately determine your Sun sign, visit astro.com or a similar site which will allow you to cast your own natal chart. You will need the date, place and time of your birth. Those who are born from the 19th – 22nd of a given month may be one of two different signs. If you are casting your chart, also check out your rising sign if you don’t already know it. Images apply to both your Sun sign and the rising sign (Ascendant) of your natal chart, but note that the rising sign is only accurate if you have your correct time of birth.

Your Sun Sign Imagiscope for the Week of June 27 – July 3, 2016

Aries & Aries Rising

Taurus & Taurus Rising

Fingers penetrate the soil
turning earth in cupped hand
held like a hoe or a shovel
determined and bound to this talisman
Earth and land and rock and root
moved as you move within

Gemini & Gemini Rising

Silver foil folded just so
set straight on a stick to
spin as the wind blows
Catching sunlight, it makes its
rounds only to stop as
dead air grows thick

Cancer & Cancer Rising

From afar, the hills moved in waves
Ripples rising and falling, lifting grasses,
flowers, trees just a little ways
into the air—and gently back down again
Up close, we saw the tiny interlocking joints
Millions of them! Working in concert to
ease the earthquake through, without damage,
without bruise, opening the ground
in all the right places

Leo & Leo Rising

It’s gratuitous
Luxuriant orange, yellow, pale
darkening at the edges
Rising heat to feed the
hunger of the combustible

Virgo & Virgo Rising

What’s this?
A basket woven watertight
but failing to hold its promise
Gaping holes in its weave
reveal its maker hobbled

Libra & Libra Rising

Layers and layers
of flakes of rock
evaporating in a landscape
bent by the heat
Heaping pressure on the
weakest point
finally to give
to give all shame away

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

Stripes light the way
their darkness penetrating
this body
of water
Vessel gliding intact and whole
toward The Mother
silken breath of water
giving life
giving succor

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

Drawing down
cool and clear
drawing down
through a steady state cylinder
while all about, the tempest tosses
the center gathers in all that looks like chaos
its walls dynamic, solid, lossless

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

A tickling signal of terror
in the stomach
ship shuddering in heavy seas
thick with portent
inspiring weak knees
plunging ahead, nowhere to go
except forward
steady as she goes,
the crew holding the bearings
and you keeping your head

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Look for no bed of nails
to lie on
to test your concentration
strength of mind or
forbearance
Find instead a magnet
that turns the sharp points
downward to face the ground
and traverse the smooth edges

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Jouncing up and down
this rhythm found through
boundless repetition
The body loosens
breaking up the old constriction
bonds broken, compacts come to fruition
—sticky though they may be
